I think your problem might be that you're using CAP's where you shouldn't
be.
If I understand you right your domain is 'udg.mx' and your kdc is called
'BIRD' (is your DNS entry for 'BIRD' in upper case or lower case?) so your
krb5.conf should be setup as follows...
[libdefaults]
ticket_lifetime = 600
default_realm = CLASS.UDG.MX
[realms]
CLASS.UDG.MX = {
kdc = BIRD.udg.mx
admin_server = BIRD.udg.mx
default_domain = udg.mx
}
[domain_realm]
.udg.mx = CLASS.UDG.MX
(Note: if you DNS entry for 'BIRD' is actually lower case make sure 'BIRD'
above is converted to lower case.)
Here's a copy of my krb5.conf if you are still confused...
[libdefaults]
ticket_lifetime = 600
default_realm = T.SHERIDANC.ON.CA
[realms]
T.SHERIDANC.ON.CA = {
kdc = oa-bb19-3.t.sheridanc.on.ca
admin_server = oa-bb19-3.t.sheridanc.on.ca
default_domain = t.sheridanc.on.ca
}
[domain_realm]
.t.sheridanc.on.ca = T.SHERIDANC.ON.CA
My domain is 't.sheridanc.on.ca'
my Kerberos realm is 'T.SHERIDANC.ON.CA'
my kdc's host name is 'oa-bb19-3'
Hope this helps
